When Sun Jian returned to Rencheng, Sun Ce communicated with him the roughly formulated plan. Sun Jian was very pleased. In addition to adjusting Lu Su to before Dong Xi, he completely accepted Sun Ce's suggestion. After venting with Guo Jia and other military plans, he held a meeting on merit.

Zhu Huan got his wish and ranked among the top three, but he was not Sun Ce or Sun Jian ahead of him - both father and son were not among the ranks of Singing Merits. For the court, they were generals, and for themselves, they were the lords and did not need to compete for merit with the generals - but Taishi Ci and Huang Gai.

Taishi Ci merged the bandits of Mount Tai to enter Dongping, effectively restraining Cheng Yu's troops and cutting off Cao Ang's retreat, which psychologically put huge pressure on Cao Ang and laid the foundation for Cao Ang's final voluntary retreat. He became the third battlefield commander outside Sun Jian and Sun Ce. He was a well-deserved first meritorious person when the Sun family and his son did not participate in the discussion of merit.

The second merit was Huang Gai. Huang Gai didn't behead much, but he seized Yuan Tan's baggage battalion and seized a large amount of baggage. Not only did he hit Zhu Ling at that time, but he also provided a solid material foundation for the subsequent war and greatly reduced the pressure on logistics supply. Before the troops moved, food and grass took the lead. This merit was more important than the beheading merit and was listed as the second merit.

Zhu Huan led 4,000 people to guard Kang's father for more than ten days, then defeated Lu Qian and Li Qian 13,000 people. The number of beheading exceeded his own troops. The ones who were invincible were invincible and ranked as the third merit. His troops destroyed their sharp edges and rushed into the battlefield, and gave them the name of Wushou to praise his courage.

Lu Su first helped Zhu Zhi to assist in preventing Feng Kai, and then blocked 10,000 people with a battalion of 2,000 people, resulting in Zhu Ling being isolated and helpless, beheading more than a thousand, and he lost only a hundred of his own losses. He accumulated the merits of Pugubei and ranked fourth. Because his troops were rigorous and indestructible, he was given the name of Guoyi.

Dong Xi defeated Shao and defeated Li Jin, and used two thousand people to restrain Zhu Ling and more than 5,000 people to accumulate the achievements of Pugupi, ranking fifth. Because he was trapped but not confused, he was named Zhe Chong.

Zu Mao defeated Zhu Ling's Central Army and defeated the Sixth.

...

Gu Hui had just finished reading the book, Huang Gai stood up and bowed repeatedly. "Thank you, General, but I dare not take the second merit. I was ordered by the general to block the support with the Lu Captain Lu. It was the Lu Captain Lu that took the responsibility, but I asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to get the baggage. To be honest, I didn't think so much at that time, just wanted to burn the fire. But it rained heavily as soon as the fire started to light, and it didn't burn. The general was listed as my second merit. I feel guilty. Please share the merit with the Lu Captain Lu."

Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce. Although there was a tacit understanding between the father and son, he was still the main general on the surface, so he was the one who presided over the meeting. However, it was Sun Ce's decision to make Huang Gai the second meritorious, and there was the intention of taking care of Sun Jian's old subordinates. Now Huang Gai refused to accept it and asked to give the credit to Lu Su, so naturally Sun Ce would explain it.

Sun Ce slowly stood up. "Person Huang refused to take advantage of others' merits, and he was the elder. However, he only talked about achievements and no matter planning, Person Lu planned, Person Huang adopted it. He acted as a counselor for you. You can thank him privately, without dividing the merits. Just like Fengxiao, Wenbiao and others for military planning, I can't list them as the first merits, right? The world has rained and put out the fire and saved these baggages. Do I still have to dividing the merits to the heavens?"

Everyone laughed and expressed their approval in a verbal way. Huang Gai scratched his head and could not refute Sun Ce for the moment.

Sun Ce glanced at everyone, especially on Zhu Huan's face for a moment. Taishi Ci ranked first and Zhu Huan had no objection. He was listed as Huang Gai as the second. He was dissatisfied with him. Moreover, he was not the kind of person who had any ideas hidden in his heart. Anyone could see the change in his face. If Huang Gai had not taken the initiative to give in, he would definitely raise objections. If he didn't take this opportunity to make him understand that he had to compete for merit, Sun Ce didn't care, but it was very unfavorable to him. No one liked his colleague who was too competitive and aggressive, and Guan Yu was an example.

Zhu Huan blinked his eyes and stammered his neck, obviously not very convinced.

Sun Ce continued: "The two armies confront each other, generals compete for plans, soldiers compete for bravery, but first of all, they compete for power and determination. Zhu Ling had more than 10,000 soldiers. If the beasts were trapped, even if we could kill more than half of them, our army would suffer extremely shocking losses. Can we force Cao Ang to retreat next? If Cao Ang cannot force Cao Ang, should we attack Rencheng or give up Rencheng? Captain Huang seized the baggage not only played a crucial role in defeating Zhu Ling's army at that time, but also had a great impact on the subsequent wars. It was listed as a secondary meritorious service, which I think is very reasonable."

Zhu Huan frowned slightly, his face calmed down slightly. After hearing this, some nodded in agreement, some pondered, and some whispered with their colleagues around them and whispered.

Sun Ce waited for a while and said, "Zhu Wudang, what do you think?"

Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react for a moment. It was not until Dong Xi next to him that he realized that Zhu Wudang was him. He was quite embarrassed and quickly stood up and said casually: "Everything that the general said is reasonable."

"Yeah?"

"Uh...of course."

"Then I want to criticize you a few words now. I hope you will still feel that every sentence is reasonable after listening to it."

Zhu Huan's face turned red. He knew that Sun Ce had objections to his attitude, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would criticize him in front of so many people. He suddenly became a little anxious. After so much effort, he was seriously injured and could not compete for success. He gave him a name, but he was not unique to him. Why?

Everyone was also a little surprised and closed their mouths one after another. Zhu Zhi stood up to smooth things over, but was stopped by Sun Jian.

Sun Ce motionless, looking at Zhu Huan quietly. When everyone calmed down, his eyes were all gathered on his face. He said slowly: "Zhu Xiumu, how many casualties are you this time?"

Zhu Huan tilted his mouth. "One thousand seven hundred and sixty-one people were killed, three hundred and fifty-five people were seriously injured, and the rest were injured."

"Am you among the seriously injured people?"

Zhu Huan bit his lip without saying a word.

"You led your troops to the father of Kangfu, like Taishi Ci, to be a general of the front line, so you will add another battalion to command you, and then send a battalion of personal guards to assist you. You treat yourself as a general and charge forward, but throw the important task of command to Guo Jijiu. Is this considered a dereliction of duty? Is your troops' contribution part of Guo Jijiu?"

Zhu Huan's face turned red and speechless. He had two thousand people in one battalion, and Sun Ce also allocated another battalion for him, and there were two thousand personal guards led by Guo Jia. The third merit was actually the merits of these six thousand people. He asked for the title of Wudang battalion, but plundered the merits of the other four thousand people as existing, especially robbing Guo Jia's commander. If he really wanted to discuss merits, Guo Jia was more qualified to discuss merits as a commander. Guo Jia hadn't said anything yet, what qualifications did he have to say [      Update Fast] Three-and-Secret?

According to the standards of the generals mentioned by Sun Ce, he was simply unqualified.

"General, since I am involved, I will say a few words." Seeing that Zhu Huan was silent, Guo Jia shook his feather fan and stood up. "The situation was urgent at that time, and Lu Qian had not yet been defeated, and Li Gan arrived again. If we cannot make a decision immediately, our army will suffer from destruction. Logically speaking, it is necessary for the command of the chief officer Zhu to command the generals to charge in the battle, but I am a scholar, and the others are not as brave as Zhu Jiawei. If Zhu Jiawei is brave enough to take responsibility, he will lead the way, breaking two consecutive battles, killing Lu Qian and Li Gan, and laying the victory. Although there are minor flaws, it will not damage the great fortune."

He paused and chuckled softly, "If you want to regard yourself as a general, you can only say that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to Mo are black. You can't blame Zhu Xiumu alone. Zhu Xiumu, if you don't learn so many advantages, do you just learn this?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment and burst into laughter.
